Vimd,
You answered it your self. If pilots in India are paying up front large amounts for a job, to be paid in INR, imagine what they will do if they got paid in S$ ???? You know the lure of the $$$ well enough living in India. Infact Jet gets all its Pilot managment "SKILLS" from CX & SQ they have worst records in Pilot n' Managmnet relations, go figure ! If any one has worked for 9W will agree...
